9:00 PM: The clinic called with Sophie's counts, and everything looks great. In fact, I don't think her ANC has ever been this high (8.6). That's a good indication that she can tolerate more chemo, so they have bumped up her dosage. She'll go in for another blood test on the 17th to make sure the ANC is above 1.0, which is the target. The girls have had a great evening together. At the moment, they're both in bed in Sophie's room, talking and laughing. I won't worry too much about making them be quiet and go to sleep--maybe they'll sleep in!
